   Great vibe of a restaurant. Food was mediocre, though. The shared plates were good sizes, however were not as delicious as we had anticipated. The salad dressing was tasteless, thought the greens were spectacular. The fried chicken was white meat, a bit dry, and served with a sauce that was supposed to be a chipotle sauce of sorts, however it seemed to have a gelatinous texture to it that was odd. The mushrooms with potatoes was bland. The Umami bomb was also lacking something to give it some interest and umami. The service was outstanding from the front desk to the server. And, the vibe fit perfectly with the service and Sebastopol. Three of us were in agreement over the food, service, and vibe.

   My buddy and I just wanted to have a quiet place where we could talk at a bar. I asked Matt if the Corpse Reviver cocktail worked, cause I needed it. He said it would and it did. My friend had the Smash Burger and I did another appetizer. I highly recommend this great spot with a good atmosphere.

   A rat ran across the floor while we were there, clearly noticed by staff who then asked a server “did a customer see?” Who then looked me straight in the face and said yes. They proceeded to discuss the rat within ear shot and other animals “that scare them” but no one came to talk to us about it or offer apologies. We finished our drinks and left. Cocktails were delicious and hand crafted. The burger we ate pre rat sighting was good but no smash burger is worth $30. Won’t be returning.

   First time there and was truly impressed. Service was friendly and efficient, the menu was diverse to satisfy a variety of appetites and the ambience was comfortable and warm. Every plate we had was visually beautiful and extraordinarily tasty. The wine, cocktail and mocktail selection was ample. Will be back!

   Just a beautiful menu of unexpected things. Incredibly delicious umami bowl. Crazy kimchi pancakes. A mashup of all sorts of flavors. Really wonderful.

    Fantastic brunch. After a couple of tasty cocktails we had an order of the Baked Eggs (very good with a nice hit of cardamom) and the Spam and Eggs (with the "spam" being a very good bacon sausage). Finished the meal with an order of beignets served with an apple butter sauce. Ourstanding! Great service, decor...everything! An oasis on a 100 degree day! We'll be back for further culinary adventures! Highly recommended!
